Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Starscream

Starscream
This article was PROD because: "This article is redundant with the multiple Transformers articles. There should be no articles on fictional characters separate from the works in which they appear." The tag was removed with reason: "If the Sonic the Hedgehog page gets to stay so will this one." The comparison is irrelevant because Sonic the Hedgehog is an article about a game series, not just the character, while this is an extra article, separate from and in addition to the articles about the Transformers. — Ningauble 12:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as nom. ~ Ningauble 12:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. ~ UDScott 12:44, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, and set out a policy page explaining why we don't have pages of quotes from fictional characters. BD2412 T 14:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In response to a question about fictional characters on my talk page a month ago, I threw together some thoughts and links to prior discussions that may contribute toward policy formulation. ~ Ningauble 16:11, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A good start, there. BD2412 T 01:18, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and the unremarkable nature of some of the quotes. "Autobots!" and "And Against?" are hardly quote-worthy. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 14:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I am getting tired of this nonsense votes for deletion and it will be rewritten if deleted.(Jackerson 15:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC))
 * Please explain what the "nonsense votes" are. I'd be willing to keep the article, if there were a policy-derived reason to do so, but I can't see any. As a result, it should be deleted. (and the statement that it'll get re-created is a non-issue; not only could it just be deleted again in the future, but it can also be protected from recreation).

 * The nonsense is that you guys keep putting delete for a vote and all of a sudden put up things for no reason at all.(Jackerson 19:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC))
 * Not entirely sure what you're trying to say. Fictional characters don't get articles because we try to limit our non-free content, and we do that by restricting to each television show, movie, or book, rather than the individual characters from each.

 * Comment. @Jackerson: If you're 'getting tired' of the deletions because you don't understand that what we're doing is part of WQ policy, then Wikiquote has no place for you. You're simply wasting our time trying to defend your actions. Nonsense votes...you're the one spouting all of the nonsense! --Eaglestorm 03:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per . Cirt (talk) 17:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. - InvisibleSun 01:23, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. This is just a repository for Starscream quotes that may or may have not been included in other Transformers articles. Jackerson's diatribes indicate his lack of familiarity with (or ignorance of) Wikiquote policies and unwillingness to accept prior consensus. Also, his arguments with Ningauble on the article talk page actually fall under what WP would label as this--Eaglestorm 13:26, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
